[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree that it's all apples and oranges.  Grew up here, have lots of family/have visited all my life the NE/New England region.  Both have lots to offer but if you're wedded to the merits of one or the other, you'll be disappointed in the other one.  NE towns have it hands down over us on the cuteness/old-fashioned town aspect of things.  On the other hand, I always feel the white-ness of NE and wonder how such a relatively cosmopolitan area could be so non-diverse (and I say this as an Irish-Catholic:  yeah, I feel surprisingly at home there, but I'm also sort of astonished to see so many other white people around; it sort of unnerves me b/c I am not used to it ps I also feel this way when I visit my husband's family in the Midwest).  So, this is all to say, both regions have their merits, but if you seriously want cute old TOWNS, New England has it all over us down here in the Wash metropolitan area.  [b]PS  To my surprise, their prices are also cheaper too.  When we were trying to sell my grandmother's house a few years ago in Westchester, I was SHOCKED -- SHOCKED -- as I started to follow their real estate market.

NJ and NY are not New England states.  Westchester is not New England.[/quote]

It is actually just up the Merritt Parkway in Danbury CT that I am talking about but I didn't think many folks on this board would know it.  [/quote]
